The manager, however, is of opinion, that thejreef or reefs in hand will pay well for crushing, and, is now busy getfc:ng out more stone from the reef supplying the late crushing, in addition to which, an opening has beennjade lower down the hill, on a good looking" reef, which has to be driven on some distance to determine whether.it is the same reef as already worked," or a separate ono, which is known to exist not far from the footwall of the former.
